[BlueOnyx:23190] Re: Easy Migrate Prep - Shop Packages

[Greg Kuhnert]

All software is licensed per server. If you did an “image”, software on the 2nd server would not work. When/if it tried to communicate to newlineq, that would de-activate the software on both servers.

When software is purchased, a second copy is discounted by 80% of the original price for the second and subsequent copies. If your maintenance expiry date has expired, you would need to purchase a new copy. If it has not expired, contact me off-list and we can look at some options.
